Dispensationalism – One of the Deadliest Doctrines today, a Podcast by Right Response Ministries
Thanks for your podcast, as I’ve said before.
I am a former Dispensationalist, and today I still have to fight against that former teaching. Dispensationalism is not just one error. Dispensationalism is the mothership that leads to many other errs. And saying I’m only a “leaky dispensationalist,” is tantamount to saying ‘I only have a little cancer.’ When an oncologist removes cancer, they don’t just remove cancer seen only on the surface of the skin. They surgically remove the root of cancer. And so that is how Dispensationalism must be treated, including “Leaky Dispensationalism.”
And, when Calvinists and Reformers accept, tolerate, and/or acquiesce to Leaky-Dispensationalism, they are enabling Dispensationalism. When they tolerate Arminianism (aka Semi-Pelagianism), they are negotiating with Pelagianism. Because a little leaven leavens the whole lump. Semper Reformanda!
Regarding MacArthur, as I’ve said before.
I do not believe MacArthur’s reopening of their church was true repentance from his lifelong false teaching of Romans 13, albeit the reopening of their church was beneficial to and for them.
Sadly, today followers of John MacArthur are still calling him a “hero of the faith” because he reopened his church during Covid (after many months of closure). Fact. The minority of pastors that NEVER shut down their churches are not even heroes. As they faithfully did what was ordinarily expected, in always being obedient to God over “the authorities.” I don’t dislike MacArthur personally, but I dislike their sinful idolatry of MacArthur. God is a jealous God. Repent from worshipping celebrities, and fear and revere God.

#Marcionism, is a heresy that has been going on since the second century. And this view is still held by many dispensationalists thru their #dispensationalism today.

“In some regards, Marcionism initiated the question of the inclusion or exclusion of certain books. The heretical leader Marcion (AD 160), who considered the Hebrew God to be barbaric, acknowledged as canonical only a variant of the Gospel of Luke and 10 of Paul’s letters. This drastic move in some ways forced the Church to become fully conscious of its inheritance of apostolic teachings and writings, and to clarify its view on the Jewish Scriptures. At this point, the Church essentially agreed to keep the Old Testament as part of Christian sacred readings.
For further details on Marcion and why the early church deemed him heretical, see these articles: Marcion; Gospel of Marcion.”
